Friday was a holiday for all of us. It was surprisingly still warm (high of 72 degrees) so we headed off to the St Louis Zoo.
We're there so often that we often overlook some sights from time to time. So we ventured to a couple areas off the beaten path. We found this black bear resting. A few more zoo adventure photos are on the flickr site
On our trek downtown, we ventured over to Union Station. The holiday decorations are not up yet and I'm surprised at how many shops have closed. Since we were last there in early summer, we've noticed several major stores gone: KC MasterPiece, The Disney Store and even the John Pills store. Perhaps the high priced parking, roving gangs of youths, and lack of entertainment has finally taken its toll.
We also made a mad-dash over the AB brewery. Tours were over for the day but Alex and I ran in to the museum and gift shop. Alex defintely did not like the smell of brewing rice, hops and barley. I doubt that he'll be buying me that "Brew Beer" at home kit I wanted. ;-(
Finally, we stopped in for Shabbat dinner with our friends Dan and Cheri.
